Parkbench helps you spend less time staring at your screen, and more time on the life happening around you. Bench an app and it goes quiet. Instead of a feed, you get a calm park that slowly fills with wildlife. Focus becomes something you can see. HOW IT WORKS - Bench any app or website in a tap. Try to open it and a park visitor meets you instead. - Tap one of your own NFC tags to start a bench on the spot. - Set schedules for the hours you want protected, like bedtime or the work day. - Add limits that bench an app once you have spent enough time in it today. A PARK THAT GROWS WITH YOU Every stretch of focus brings visitors to your bench: birds, foxes, and more friends that appear with the seasons, the weather, and the time of day. Your quiet hours become a field guide worth returning to and collecting. STAYS PRIVATE Parkbench blocks through Apple Screen Time, which is privacy-walled by design, so it cannot see which apps you open. There are no ads and no trackers, and on a free account your app activity never leaves your iPhone. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
